Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00431 - 0.00733), b=3.28 (3.21 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 130 [57, 310] mg/100g; Iron = 2.01 [1.04, 4.60] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.3, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.36 [0.14, 0.90] g/100g; Selenium = 57.5 [22.7, 164.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 64.4 [24.2, 166.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.77 [1.23, 2.53] mg/100g (wet weight);
